THEY LIVE @BIKE OVEN movie night 2/26/12 7pm
"I AM HERE TO CHEW BUBBLE GUM AND KICK ASS..... AND I AM ALL OUT OF CHEWING GUM!"

This month for movie night at the 'Bike Oven' we will show: 'They Live' to get you ready for MR #99!

A classic John Carpenter movie from 1988 that has one of the BEST fight scenes ever filmed. What better performer to cast for this than WWF superstar Rowdie Roddy Piper? Nada! (piper) is inadvertently swept into a resistance movement that has discovered that the whole of america has been taken over by evil Republican/Goldman Sachs banks/Presidential Candidates... .oh wait, i mean evil alien invaders (oh same difference), that want us to 'OBEY' 'STAY ASLEEP' and to 'SUBMIT TO AUTHORITY'.via subliminal messages in all advertisements that can only be seen through special glasses that show what the world really has become. Along with Kieth David they break into the invaders diabolical plot and try to waken up everyone to this scourge!

I personally miss the "Big Dumb Herd", which is why I'm not nearly as motivated to get my ass down as much.
Although it did sound like everyone had quite a good time last night from the other posts and testimonials.

Im bummed that.... A) I missed this because I was injured .. B) The MTF toner ran out of the color copier (witch if I wasn't out of the office for 2 days due to injury I would have ordered) and I couldnt get the spokes in order on time.... C) I missed the ride due to injury ( I think I said that already)

The format & concept for this ride were both really rad. I'd love to have there be more rides of this nature, where we all gather at the start and then go out into the city to explore and LOOK at what's around us and converge & split and do it all night long! Super fun. Thanks Trickmillz for birthing this brainchild.
